Kaskelot

Kaskelot

The Kaskelot is from the same fleet as the Earl of Pembroke, and has a similar story. She was a ketch built in Denmark (Kaskelot means sperm whale in Danish) at the end of the 40s, and used to link Greenland to Denmark, then abandoned in the 70s. In the 80s, she was bought by The Square Sail Fleet, refurbished as a 3-masted barque, and takes parts in movies, tall ships and historical events. As she is an actress, we might forgive her for sailing with flat sails, using in fact its engine to move, when the wind is too weak.
